Lake Magog or Magog Lake is a remote wilderness lake in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.[2][a] The lake is bounded on the south by Mount Magog 3,092 m (10,144 ft) and Mount Assiniboine 3,618 m (11,870 ft), Sunburst Peaks 2,849 m (9,347 ft) to the west, with Naiset Point 2,755 m (9,039 ft) and Terrapin Mountain 2,954 m (9,692 ft) on the east side.[3]
The lake can be reached by following hiking trails through Assiniboine Pass or Wonder Pass,[4] from the trailhead that begins at the Mount Shark parking lot in Kananaskis or from a trail that begins at Sunshine Village in Banff National Park.[5] There is no vehicle or bicycle access in the park. Alternatively, a helicopter flight can be arranged through the Assiniboine Lodge.[6]
The Magog Lake campground has 40 sites that are open year round but reservations are required from late June to late September.[7]
